neighbour say just leave beside bin lah
knn no leh. beside bin also cannot 🛑
not general rubbish, not blue bin
ask maker or authorised service how to dispose
sequel coming next week. pack still not going there
Moving day, bin still wrong
Wah lau, PVC wrap still intact also doesn’t turn the pack into household rubbish. Don’t put it in general rubbish or the blue recycling bin. Ask the maker or authorised service how to dispose of it.
The cover photograph matters because it looks ordinary: blue wrap, cables tucked at the top, no dramatic burn scene. Disposal is not decided by whether the pack looks shocking enough for a safety article. Intact outer wrapping tells us that the wrapping is intact in this photograph; it does not create a different disposal route.

Old pack, unknown cells
The second pack is different from the tidy blue cover. The owner identifies it as very old, with no confirmed cell model. That missing identity stays missing. We do not fill the gap with a guessed brand, chemistry, capacity or current rating.
“Must throw” is workshop shorthand for retiring a pack, not an instruction to use the rubbish chute. In public copy the action remains exact: ask the maker or authorised service how to dispose of it.
The contrast between the two photographs is useful. One pack keeps its blue PVC wrap; the other exposes old wrapping and a dense run of red balance wires. Neither appearance creates a household-bin option. The first photograph prevents the article from implying that only opened or visibly dramatic packs need a disposal answer.
It also keeps the caption honest. For the blue packs, we can state that the PVC wrapping is intact in the photograph. We cannot state why the packs were set aside, what cells are inside or whether they are damaged. For the second pack, the owner’s context supports “very old” and “cell model unknown,” but not an invented rating or failure story.
Damaged pack? Ask before moving it
Don’t ride with it, courier it or carry a hot, leaking or damaged pack to a shop. Ask the maker or authorised service first.
This matters when clearing a room, moving house or emptying storage. Finding the pack does not automatically answer how it should travel. The condition of the pack and the next handling step belong in the same conversation with the maker or authorised service provider.
PVC wrap intact, bin still wrong.
